Our interview this morning is with David Sacks, CEO of Geni.com, an online family tree and social networking site, as well as Yammer, the instant messaging startup spun out of Geni.com at TechCrunch50. We sat down with David to catch up on what Geni and Yammer are doing, plus got his insights into entrepreneurship and the Paypal mystique.

He’s done several startups and is a board member of the Technology Council of Southern California (which is where I met him originally). A typical day starts with email, Facebook, LinkedIn, Twitter, and Yammer checks/updates. We need to spend some time discussing what you do with the social web.

RedBeacon was the 3rd winner (year 1: Yammer, year 2: Mint.com) – not bad company. And in a world where we increasingly log in to personal web time at late hours or on our mobile phones that’s no longer good enough. We will stay in LA and then Southern California before branching out into our 2nd & 3rd markets.
